I am 12 weeks post op today (Sleeved 4/9). I had a rough time in the beginning (had to go back in for emergence surgery 5/12), but now I am 100%. Running and walking daily. I have so much energy. Always have to be on the go. I thought I would post a picture of me taken about 2 weeks ago. I am very pleased with the success thus far. Good luck everyone.post-213164-0-38217400-1404311653_thumb.jpg

Sleeved 4/8. Down 59 pounds and feeling fantastic. I'm not getting in exactly all the Protein I need but it's a work in progress. I'm able to drink lots of Water now and happy cause I was a huge water drinker before but have just recently begun to like it again. Working out every am and have the energy to do it despite how little we all eat. How is everyone else doing? It's tough some days. I still crave pizza and bread. But I don't eat it.

It's my third day post op. I'm having nausea and cramps. No problems swallowing though. All my Vitamins and meds go down fine.

The thought of food makes me sick. I couldn't drink the Isopure clear....money down the drain. It smelled and tasted too sweet. My coordinator told me to drink a small glass a skim milk with a teaspoon of Peanut Butter.... it helped the nausea. I am able to drink the Premier Protein shakes....a sip at a time. I can drink Water if it's flavored with Crystal Lite. I'm having to take the meds for nausea and cramping so I'm not totally alert, but I am still getting up walking and using my spirometer. I will be glad when the sickness goes away. I had a very easy surgery so I knew there would be a bump in the road somewhere :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
